I used to own this board game. It belonged to my cousin, who was a teen in the 80's. He passed it down to me. The board game was released back in 1988. https://boardgamegeek.com/image/516984/dark-future
Just so everyone knows. Once you install the updates, this game works perfectly fine. Well, as fine as how everyone else is used to playing it at least. BUT you HAVE to install ALL 4 of the updates in the correct order.
UPDATE 20/05/2019
UPDATE 28/05/2019
UPDATE 25/06/2019
UPDATE 11/11/2019 I suggest using Megaup to download. Hasn't failed me yet. Make sure you install to the same directory you installed the Core game into and you select to have it copy the PLAZA crack automatically. You might have to run as administrator and make sure the game isn't running when you install the cracks. That might go without saying but... yea, Stupid me forgot to shut the game down the first time I tried installing these updates :) It doesn't like that Good luck. This is an amazing game that is definitely worth the effort. I myself will probably end up buying it. You do the same if you end up really enjoying it. EDIT: Also wanted to let everyone know that this WILL destroy your saved data and as far as I know there isn't any way around it. So, you will be starting over although from the sound of it, nobody got very far playing the core game without updates so it shouldn't be an issue.
When I try to run the update, it tells me the version's not compatible. The base game is SKIDROW while the patch is PLAZA. Where can I find the PLAZA version of the core game?
So, you have to install ALL of the updates starting from UPDATE 20/05/2019 After you install all 4 in the correct order then I believe you should be good to go. Although I haven't tested it thoroughly yet. It has nothing to do with "PLAZA version of the core game"
This game would have been popular if it was advertised as being in the 40k universe and sold for 10$
